Tagging programme started!

Friday, September 19th, 2008

I’m a bit late with this post…the first tags of the eeliad project were deployed a week or so ago, on the east coast of Sweden.  The tags were the buoyant type that, if the eels are not caught, will float to the surface of the ocean and, in some proportion, get picked up by beachcombers.

Well done to the team in Sweden…now we have to wait for the tags to start coming back through the fishery or by recovery from beaches.  It’s an exciting time.
